These days when I think of New Zealand, the first thing that comes to mind is Hobbits.
I admit I am a fan of the Lord of the Rings films (though not oddly so, like some people I know), and having
seen them all, I often think about how great it would be to head to New Zealand. But of course, there is so much more
to the land of Kiwis than the chance to hang in the Shire. For example, one of the things I’ve always wanted to do is
take a float through the magical Waitomo glow-worm caves.
But there is also rafting, and hiking and bungee jumping and the whole assortment of adrenaline- soaked things you
can do there. To see what I mean, take a look at
Carly Blatt’s piece in Student Traveler. She
talks about all these things and more. Great stuff that will get you thinking about whether your next trip should be in
New Zealand.
